I also recommend the local Boy Scouts  -- I was a Girl Scout in a troop in Los
Angeles and was a full particpant until I was in high school.  I'm fully
convinced they were a major factor in my socialisation and learning to live
and work with society at large.

I'm Kat, and I'm a mod of this group and am a 51-year old CP living and
working in NC.

Oh, BTW, Happy New Year, everyone!

Kat
